I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And a really nice gift!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Great interview, ND.

Israel just announced that general population over 35 can now schedule appointments for Covid shots. I scheduled both appointments, and by March I'll be able to hug other vaccinated people (carefully. I'll still do it with masks) again. I'm with tears of joy in my eyes. Finally, a personal light in the end of the tunnel.

That bed jacket would be lovely, especially for a sick person. It looks easy t get on and off, too.

People are having very full lives, both good and bad, and I’ve felt the typing version of tongue tied the past few days. But I’m seeing y’all and empathizing or cheering you on.

Oh, and happy Inauguration Day, Americans. I am very happy for you.

(May it soon happen here too, amen).

That's wonderful, Shir!

I am looking forward to today. And I still have trepidation because of everything. It's good, and it kind of sucks to have the anxiety chaser.
